Hyderabad: Lauding the emergence of robotics in oncological surgeries, medical experts from across India, on Saturday, endorsed the idea as the future of cancer treatment.

Experts said surgical management of tumours via robotics is more accurate and makes the job of doctors easier, without the necessity of using a microscope. This also changes the experience for patients as it is done with less incision and speeds up recovery time. So far 600 minimally invasive surgeries (MIOS) have been successful in Hyderabad alone and more than 30 lakh patients have benefited from it worldwide. They were speaking at workshop on Robotics and MIOS being organised by Yashoda Hospitals.

"With MIOS, the patient will be able to go home faster and recover earlier," Dr Jagdishwar Goud, who brought robotic surgery to Telangana and AP said.

With immense pride “India Live” celebrated its 10th national conference in Mumbai from 28th February to 3rd March 2019. The conference turned out to be a gold mine of information, with emphasis on academics, education and exchange of knowledge with leaders in interventional cardiology from both India and abroad.
